Embodiment Construction

[0034]FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a quick connect threaded anchor 11 which has a cylindrical casing 13 made out of steel, such as stainless or galvanized steel, or a material having equivalent characteristics and strength. The cylindrical casing 13, and head section 15 are preferably formed from a single solid piece. An internal cavity of the casing 13 (FIG. 4) is capped at the head 15 by a circular plate 17. The plate 17 is preferably made of steel, such as stainless or galvanized steel, or a material having similar characteristics.

[0035]The quick connect anchor 11 is capable of receiving threaded rods 19 and 21 which have different diameters. Engagement is accomplished by a single axial thrust.

[0036]As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, threaded rod 19 and threaded rod 21 are fully engaged by the same threaded anchor 11, even though the diameters of the rods are different. The diameter of threaded rod 19, for example, could be ½ inch. The smaller diameter threaded rod 21, fo...

Abstract

An internally threaded anchor for use in poured concrete floors having a metal deck or a wood form. The threaded anchor provides quick and easy attachment to threaded support rods that carry racks for utilities, piping, or ceiling grid systems. Each threaded anchor is capable of accepting different diameter rods or bolts with different thread cuts. Each anchor accepts the different diameter threaded rods by a single insertion motion, without the need to thread the rod into the anchor. Full insertion is visually verifiable when the marked end of the rod inserted into the anchor is no longer visible. An authentication tag visible upon full insertion indicates that authorized rod is being used.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 14 / 225,019 filed Mar. 25, 2014 for Quick Connect Threaded Anchor For Poured Concrete, Metal Deck And Wood Frame Floors.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to improvements in anchors for poured concrete, metal deck or wood deck ceilings in multi-story buildings, and more particularly, pertains to new and improved threaded anchors that are attached to the metal or wood deck prior to pouring of the concrete so that when the concrete sets, these anchors may be used as support points for suspended utilities such as plumbing pipes, mechanical piping, mechanical equipment, cable trays, bus ducts, HVAC ducts, electrical conduit, conduit racks, junction boxes and panels, or for seismic bracing for example.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Various concrete inserts or anchors have been used to retain support rods in pou...
